Unpossible

Unpossible is an endless racer of sorts. There are multiple stages to play, each stage being a little more difficult than the last, however you can only play later stages after unlocking them. To do so you must last at least 60 seconds on the current(or first if you’re just starting out)stage and avoid obstacles through all kinds of twists and turns. You’ll have to twist around the track that you’re racing on to dodge obstacles, and see how far you can go to get the highest score possible. Everything is dressed in a futuristic setting that is somewhat Tron like, and there are multiple modes to really test your skills once you think you’ve gotten the hang of things. You can pick up Unpossible for a mere $1.99 in the Play Store.
